Business is starting to pick up for Jadeveon Clowney, but he won’t necessarily rush to sign his next NFL deal. The defensive end’s camp has advised him to wait for Saturday’s roster deadline to pass before signing, Dianna Marie Russini of ESPN.com tweets.

By waiting, Clowney could tap into a larger pool of available dollars. He may also see one or two new unexpected suitors, if a projected starter gets dropped between now and Saturday afternoon. Of course, it’s a double-edged sword – the waiting game could actually hurt him if another valuable veteran joins him on the open market.
The Saints and Titans have offers out to Clowney, setting the stage for a high-priced bidding war. Both teams want the former No. 1 overall pick to sign by Monday, but he’ll ultimately dictate the timetable. Clowney, 27, will need to go through the necessary COVID-19 protocols before joining his future teammates.
The Ravens may also get involved, though the finances are a bit tricky. In terms of cap space, the Titans are in the best position of any known suitor with $22MM+ available. The Saints, meanwhile, will have to work some magic – they’ve got less than $7MM in spendable dollars.
Hoping the Broncos are able to speak to him. Adding a guy like Clowney to Von, Casey, and Chubb seems like a nightmare for offenses looking to protect their QB.
Did you see how he played in Seattle of all places last year?
Are you joking? Seattle has absolutely no pass rush, which explains why Clowney was so unproductive statistically. While I agree he’s not worth his asking price, Seattle was not a great team to collect statistics and raise his stock
You are saying that Clowney did not succeed as a pass rusher last year because no one else could pass rush either? That’s a poor excuse. That’s what he’s getting paid to do!
No, I’m just pointing out he got double-teamed more frequently than he would’ve on a defense with a more formidable front four. Would someone be more productive playing across from Danielle Hunter, or Rasheem Greene?
I’m not saying Clowney is elite or worth anything near what’s he asking for. It’s just irritating to see ignorant fans act like he’s some scrub that doesn’t deserve a roster spot
